Cheesecake Etc

This is THE place to get delicious cheesecakes. I hate crust in my cheesecake since so many of them get so mushy but the cheesecakes they serve has NO crust! How awesome is that?
Two things I don’t like about this place is their open hours and location. I wish they were more closer to downtown.

Beside the cozy place.
Great piano play and singing.
And yummy cakes and drinks.
The fact that me and my boyfriend both forgot our debit cards (and yes they only get cash or debit) and they said its totally play next time and were super nice to us. Meant sooo much and gave us a wonderful experience.

The atmosphere was nice set a relaxing mood. Taste was great but it is very fluffy and light.

Though I wish the cheesecake here came with an Oreo crust… it’s still really good crustless! I love the original with strawberry sauce. It’s delicious and not too dense. So good! You can also request to have your slice frozen which gives it a more ice cream texture. The live music was lovely. Definitely my favorite hidden cheesecake spot in the city. Friendly service too.

Ok cheesecake… Nothing to write about or be excited about. It’s not exactly cheesecake, as it’s so light in texture and flavour. Better classic cheesecake can be found at Safeway etc. Seems tailored for tourists and the Asian palette with less of a liking for the sweet rich and dense cheesecake we were craving. Chocolate slice was not edible as it was almost bitter and of an odd flavour. Live music is a cool add on and the space has an old world European feel somewhat, ignoring the outdated factor.

Don’t waste your time in small and crowded dessert joints with a long wait. Cheesecake Etc is the dessert bomb! It’s a huge space, tons of seating and fast service. With only two kinds of cheesecake, they don’t mess around. But there are tons of topping and combinations. I had the decadent chocolate cheesecake with mocha sauce and almonds. My dining partners had vanilla cheesecake and strawberries, and chocolate cheesecake with peanut butter cream. The desserts were fresh and delicious. I used to eat here often in the 1990s and hadn’t been for about twenty years. I don’t know why I forgot about this den of deliciousness but it’s back on my radar.

So good I wanna cry… First came here 25 years ago, and it still taste the same after all these times!!!

Service: ⁰⁄₁₀
— Friendly server
— Never came by to check on us, ever
— Never had a single water refill
— We had to go find our server every time we needed something and it wasn’t even a busy or packed night
Atmosphere: ¹⁰⁄₁₀
— Live piano & singer, classy music
— Romantic, loungey feel
— Singular flickering candlelight on every table
— There are booths
Food: ⁹⁄₁₀
— Cheesecake itself was bomb, ¹⁰⁄₁₀ Original was best.
— Only reason why it isn’t ¹⁰⁄₁₀ is because the plating was poor. If you order cake with strawberries or blueberries, they’re almost pouring out of the miniature plate and the plate is way way way too tiny to compliment the cake.

Cool atmosphere with a piano player to boot but cheese cake was mediocre and pricey. Service was good, glad we checked it out for the atmosphere good place to take a date after dinner but as good cheesecake lovers Meh.

Good cheescake
Odd hours of operation
Lack of parking
Kirkland (costco) brand tea
The place can use an upgrade in seating…

My to-​go place for late night cheesecake! I really like their strawberry original cheesecake paired with either a latte or tea. It’s usually very busy and lively during the evenings on weekends and sometimes on weekdays as well. Sometimes they have live music. Thankfully, this place is spacious and they have a lot of tables.

I didn’t like that they couldn’t take my debit card because it’s international.
I’m a cheesecake fan, I had it with blueberries. They were soft, light and delicious. I also like my tea latte — it was a good pair.
But I don’t understand is the service, it was so slow just to get a slice of cheesecake. I get it that the place was busy but you only serve a cheesecake, I’m sure it wasn’t still baking.
Rather than that I’ve enjoyed the experience and I liked the whole idea.

I could have made better cheesecake. What happened to their recipe?
I have tried this place a handful of times in my life and yesterday night was the worst thus far. The cheesecake (the chocolate one) was mousse-​like and watery. The taste was there but the texture was lacking in all forms. I wanted my money back. To make it more unpleasant, the light above our table kept dimming in and out.
My friends who had the original with toppings didn’t like theirs either.

Hands down probably some of the best cheesecake I’ve ever had — I’m still drooling thinking about it! Its definitely a perk that it’s open late, but ambiance wise, I think it’s a little too dark inside at times. I had the original cheesecake with strawberries on it, and it was perfectly moist and fluffy. We didn’t stay for long, since we had had a long day, but I left satisfied!
Wait for me, Cheesecake Etc, I’ll be back for you!

One of my favourite dessert places in Vancouver. I always get an original cheese cake with strawberry sauce. Can’t go wrong with this choice! I tried over 10 times here so far, and every time I visited I had a very pleasant experience. This can be a nice dessert spot after romantic dinner and even ideal for a large group of people. And plus, they open till pretty late!

One thing I like about this place is that they open late. Their cheesecake are delicious but sometimes I find it to be a hit and miss. There were times I found it quite dry and at most time nice and moist. The tea selection is ok. they do have like 10 different latte and 3 different fogs (which is basically different tea bags). The tea bags that they use are the ones you can get off the shelf from any super market. So its not like you are gettting special teas.
There are couple times, I came here and the owner was playing the piano but I guess it also depends on his mood.
The place can be quite busy but they have expanded it in the last 15 years. It started out to be a small 1 unit place and now they took over the left and right side units of the restaurant. Seats are very spacious.
As well because they are open late there are plenty of street parkings. after 10 no need to pay for meter parking.

bad 1980’s restaurant stuck in a time warp; don’t believe the hype on this one.
For some reason Japanese tourists keep giving this place a decidedly undeserved popularity that got my wife curious about trying this place.
Ignoring the place’s obvious flaws, we sat down in a crowded room (we at a 2– top in the middle of the floor, with uneven legs) and dutifully sipped at cold, weak coffee and our cheesecakes which, while not horrible, were not great either.

Venue is old and slightly dingy, yes some antique-​y decors exist here and there, the carpet looks old dirty and worn. There’s not much of choices of food except for Cheesecake with a choice of about 6 different toppings with or without whipped cream. They do have a Chocolate cheesecake, also one cake offering. They use non baked cheesecake, yes it tastes fresh, very fluffy and just the right sweetness topped with a high quality sauce of your choice.
Each sauce has its own price, plain slice $ 5, so average would come to about $ 7.
This is a very fluffy slice so don’t expect something «heavy» and be «full» after one slice. By «full» I mean comparing a slice here and other typical venues where you’d actually feel the dessert was rich– which is what I’m accustomed and expect cheesecake to be. Better put, the same sized slice at a typical venue would be twice in weight!
Though the food was well prepared $ 9 taxed/​tipped for a non-​rich slice of cheesecake plus run down décor really isn’t attractive enough to have me coming back. Don’t get me wrong, being born in Vancouver I’ve probably been here half a dozen times and I won’t avoid it if friends would like to come but I wouldn’t suggest this place to go for dessert.
A very good «at home» competitor is Costco’s cheesecake bundle! and for a fraction of the price per slice (comes with four flavors).

The classic cheesecake with strawberry sauce is my favourite. But I have complaints about the consistency of the service.
This is a romantic and dim place for a dessert date after dinner, but don’t expect too much. Hot water is $ 1 extra, be warned!!! An apparent money grab. Also, I ordered apple cider on two separate occasions and the amount the staff gave on one occasion was WAY LESS than before. Maybe they didn’t have enough, but I was surprised. The cup was a little more than half full.
I’ve tried again and again to love this place, but the only thing I like is the late hours. Oh and they used to be cash only a long time ago, but now accept only cash and debit card.
There are definitely better local dessert places than this over-​hyped hole in the wall.

Meh. I don’t know what the hype is. Sure the cheesecake is reasonably priced but it’s not the greatest cheesecake.
The décor inside is dark with dim lighting. There’s practically no service. Just someone to take and serve your order. We had to seat ourselves. We were served a dirty fork and had to ask for a new one.
Popular with the Asians. Almost felt like a bubble tea place minus the bubble tea.
Menu selection is small. Considering the cheesecake is premade, it took a long time for the food to be served. Ordered the blueberry cheesecake. They forgot the blueberry sauce so we sent it back.
The cheesecake itself is light with no crust. Can tell they whip it as it had a lot of air in it. The topping itself was ok. Just a fruit syrup almost like a diluted jam. Personally I prefer a rich and dense cheesecake with a crust and fresh fruit.
Maybe I expected too much or I’m too particular with my cheesecake. Wouldn’t recommend this place. You’re better off going to a dessert place like True Confections or Sweet Obsession.
